A linear regression of the Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF and Corning's monthly returns yields a beta of 1.03 for Corning. Corning's average monthly return will mirror the Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF. Corning may not help diversify a portfolio and will not protect against the market's volatility.
Here's the linear regression model:
> # Conduct the Linear Regression of the Monthly Returns Between $VOO and $GLW
> lmVOOGLW = lm(GLW_Monthly_Return~VOO_Monthly_Return, data = VOOandGLW)
> # Present the summary of the results from the linear regression
> summary(lmVOOGLW)
